Some pics of the flies as promised........every fly has to be an exact copy of each pattern
Anyone interested in giving it a go look at the post from Rex and visit the IFFF website
I can offer a mentorship for any members that want help

Hey Mike, which pattern was the most challenging for you to get "right"?



Surprisingly, the Woolly Bugger is kicking my butt... It has been years since I've tried to tie a "full dress" version of this pattern. I tend to use a simplified version for fishing. I wasn't the Bugger to be much of a challenge, but I was wrong...

Hi Rex
None were a real challenge ..............just had to make sure that things like tinsel had equal wraps and evenly spaced etc. One comment I did have was that a couple of hackle fibers were trapped in the Quill Gordons
